And the winners are.....

Here is what I won - and my mom won this - Many of you guessed right on me winning the Ott Light - and more of you said you hoped I won it!   Can you believe it?  LOL  I couldn't.  My mom ALMOST won the $10 gift card but at the very last second, it slipped past the little knob & ended up on the science kit.  Hannah is thrilled to have the science kit though - she's planning to work on it this weekend! ;-) So, the winners are: JeanneIL for guessing I won the Ott Light (Random.org picked 8) Nan for guessing my mom won the Science Fair Kit AND Karen for being the one person who guessed them both correctly! I didn't use Random.org for Nan & Karen - just thought I'd send them both a little something! :-) Thanks to all for playing along!  Will the winners please email me?  I'll send out prizes as soon as I hear from the winners!! Happy stitching!

Truly STUNNING.....

Blackberry Lane Designs "The Three Wisemen" Stitched OVER ONE on 40 ct Newcastle w/DMC Isn't this GORGEOUS beyond belief?  My dear friend Char stitched this for me.  It came in the mail today & I'm just speechless.  I told her she needed to keep it, but she is going to stitch it again for herself - she is going to do the series of 6 over one and make a bellpull out of them.  I've already been in touch with Jill Rensel about framing mine!!  Can you imagine - 40 stitches in a an inch - 1600 in a square inch?  It just boggles my mind.  I don't mind stitching over 1, but on 40 count?  Geez...... I've known Char for 12 years and she has gifted me with several beautiful stitched gifts - they just seem to get better & better! And changing the subject - I'll have the drawing for the winner of my contest (below) tomorrow!!! Happy stitching!!! Edited to answer Missy's question - she stitched it with full x's!  She said after she'd gotten a f...

What a week.... (and a giveaway)!

This past week hasn't been pleasant - to say the least!  We took last weekend off for Labor Day & got a lot done around here - including what I posted about in my last post on Labor Day.  That night, I got SICK!  I had a go round with Vertigo, and it's still not completely gone.  I can't remember the last time I crawled into bed & just stayed there for almost 2 full days.   I had to get up to go to the doctor and the meds have made me feel almost as bad as the rest of it.  She said it is sinus infection and inner ear trouble.  I'm still feeling woozy & sick at my stomach and only have one more day of meds left.  UGH!  I sure hope I feel better after I finish these meds!  I don't want to have to go through this again. Yesterday I spent the day with Nicole .  She's been away most of the summer & I sure have missed her & her visits.  Hopefully she will come back again soon.  Thanks again for all your ...
